About this Visa

The Work Holiday Pass lets young people from 10 specific countries work and travel in Singapore for a short time. It's designed for students and recent graduates who want to experience working abroad. You can work in any job you want—restaurants, retail, offices, anything—without needing an employer to sponsor you. This visa is different because it's super easy to get if you're from one of the 10 allowed countries. No big requirements. Just prove you're a student or recent graduate, have some money saved, and get travel insurance.
